(3,527 posts)Though they are propagandized, many Russians know exactly what is happening but stay silent out of fear. Of course, there are a percentage of true believers, many of whom are young. That is the age group Putin needs for a conscription.
Typical Putin pattern is to shock the population by performing his 'bad acts' immediately following a positive, unifying event. For example, the Crimea invasion followed on the heels of the Sochi Olympics. This terror attack has followed a landslide (fake) election. To me, this has Putin's fingerprints on it.
It is possible he'll blame the anti-Kremlin rebels that are causing trouble in the South by Ukraine. (The Pregoshin army.)
One thing is for sure: this is a terrible omen of more horror and mayhem and killing on the horizon.
